- subheading: Chicken Skillet Ingredients:
- about 1-½lbs chicken breast or thighs, cut in half lengthwise if very thick
- 1 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 (14 oz) can black beans, drained & rinsed
- 2 cups frozen organic corn, rinsed
- 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 (10 oz) can green chilies with juice
- juice and zest of 1 organic lime
- 2 tsps smoked paprika
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar Jack cheese blend
- fresh cilantro, chopped to garnish

Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f.
- In a small container, whisk seasonings together to create a dry rub.
- Rub the chicken well on all sides with your dry rub.
- Heat oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden-brown. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
- In that same skillet add the onions, and sauté until they soften, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the beans, corn, diced tomatoes with juice, chilies, lime juice, zest, and smoked paprika. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for a couple of minutes.
- Season with a pinch of sea salt and pepper, then return the chicken back to the pan and nestle into the sauce.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until bubbly and chicken is fully cooked through.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
- Serve with cauliflower rice or cooked brown rice if desired.
- Enjoy!
